Waveshare Motor Control Shield

With this Motor Control Shield you can control up to four DC motors or two stepper motors at the same time. With a jumper, the power supply circuit for the motors can be adjusted so that it receives a variable output voltage. Doing so allows motors with a lower voltage to be used by lowering the voltage with the potentiometer. However, this limits the maximum current. The shield also has a switch to select the power source: The built-in DC jack or the Vin pin of the Arduino.

Specifications:

• Supply voltage:
  • 5-9V DC via DC jack
  • 7-9V DC via Vin pin Arduino
• Maximum output current:
  • 5V setting: 3A
  • Variable voltage setting: 800mA (1100mA peak)
• Maximum current per motor: 600mA (1200mA peak)
• Compatible with Arduino: Uno/Mega
